Ingolme Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 You'll have to study forms and databases. Check this part of the PHP tutorial: http://w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_intro.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhecht Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 you have a user table, a private messages table. It's a big hint right there. When you get somewhere that you need more help on, let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowayex Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 You need to do a lot of reading and practicing before you do stuff like that. I'm currently building the same things. My private messaging system is done, and took forever to get functional, and profiles are becoming a pain. But you need to learn a lot of PHP/MySQL commands and functions and whatnot. Also, being able to keep conditional statements straight from one another helps a lot too, because I used one inside another a lot for checks to make sure the user can get their (and only their) messages. If you've never used PHP or MySQL before, this will be a great way to learn, but you'll need to make stuff like registration forms, log in forms, and learn how to secure both of those. Then of course checks to make sure users are logged in on all the pages after log in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
